Hmm, looks like one of the X-planes, considering that appears to be a mach meter instead of a regular spedometer.

RPM and Man. Pressure guages?

I have no idea what the hell this thing is.

Yeah manifold pressure rules out a jet, but jets certainly have RPM gauges. Dunno. I thought it might be some single seat two engine bomber but I know of none, and that speed gauge is still confusing. No idea.

Its a prop/jet hybrid. U.S. was experimenting with them in World War II. Made quite a few different prototypes.

Bell X-1???

I don't think the X-1 would need manifold pressure and rpm gauges

Commonwealth Woomera? Martin Baltimore MkI?

GS, don't steal answers. Or, at least quote your source.

Oops, sorry.

I would guess its a two engine glass nosed japanese plane.
Dinah?

looks like something captured and then had the guage IDs written on the dash and the gunsite removed.
